SS 17 Yuki Onna & Spring Tiger vs. Aisha & Isa

Isa knew what she had to do. But was she going to be successful? That was the big question as she saw Tiger's leg lifting up towards her - and yes, she nailed it! Granted, the kick hurt the blonde as well, but the important part was to catch a hold of the Tiger's leg. And then the yank, and boom! The masked rookie was soon right where Isa wanted!

Honestly, Isa didn't find Spring Tiger's move stupid at all, she was merely keeping up with the strategy that had worked for her so far! Quite the opposite, Isa would have been blatantly stupid not to try taking advantage of the weaknesses in that strategy. And the masked rookie's legs had already dealt enought damage to Aisha, Isa had to take them out of the game.

That thought was proven correct even further as Tiger started aiming kicks at her with her free leg. Wanting to get more control of them, Isa quickly sat down while still keeping hold of the other leg. Then she'd try to wrap her own legs around both of the masked rookie's legs to give them a good, tight squeeze. Hopefully that would render her foe's legs much less dangerous from now on.

Again Spring Tiger's Kick connected with her opponent and again she found her leg captured. The masked girl would grit her teeth and attempt to pull her legs free but to her displeasure, Isa would drop to a seated position on the mat and wrap her powerful legs around Spring Tiger's.

"Gaaahaa!" Spring Tiger would cry out as her slender legs were crushed by her powerful opponent's larger set. The masked girl would thrash back and forth but this frantic attempt to escape only caused her more pain with little to no effect of her Isa's hold.

Wincing and groaning, Spring Tiger would attempt to roll over in an attempt to break the hold or at the very least, give the rookie enough leverage to drag herself toward her corner where Yuki waited.

Isa was definitely happy that Spring Tiger had already been rumbling in the ring for a while. If she would have been facing the masked rookie right from the start, knowing her repertoire of moves and countering them would have been much more difficult. Tiger's kicks seemed to had lost their sharpest strength, even if she was persistently keeping up attacking with them.

And based on how she was crying out, they were losing strength in Isa's hold as well. And that was making the blonde very happy. She wanted to keep punishing the masked girl's legs with her own still for a while, that would definitely help her tame the wildcat. Only problem was that her foe was starting to squirm and roll over in an increasingly disruptive manner. Keeping the hold was becoming all the more difficult. Apparently Isa should just let go of her legs for a second, let her roll over and then try again from the other side.

Only problem with that plan turned out to be that once Isa tried to regain hold of the legs, they were already a couple of feet away to her side. The masked rookie wasted no time in trying to escape, and in a split second she was already too far away. Normally, getting the opponent so intimidated was only good news for Isa. She'd go after her, and take control once again. However, this time the blonde could see Tiger rushing towards the corner, with the obvious intention of tagging her partner in instead.

Getting back up again, suddenly Isa was no more happy about the situation.

Spring Tigers agonizing attempt to roll over paid off as Isa's vice like leg scissor began to loosen before deciding to release it all together. The masked girl let out a relived gasp as she scurried away on her hands and knees, fighting through the throbbing pain in her legs.

Spring Tiger would make it to her corner before Isa could her. Reaching up, Spring Tiger would slap Yuki's outstretched hand before rolling under the ropes where she would massage her legs for several seconds before climbing up onto the ring apron to watch her partner fight the towering blonde.

Yuki Onna had already extended out her arm to be tagged in by Spring Tiger, and the moment her partner tagged her in, it's about time Yuki jumped into action. After making sure that Spring Tiger was alright, Yuki would quickly heave herself up onto the top rope as she saw Isa coming to her way. And from there, Yuki would leap up from the top rope, entering the ring with a dynamic entry as she prepared to use her forearm for a strike.

Seeing her opponent coming at her way, Yuki would try to land a flying forearm smash onto her after jumping from the top rope, using her momentum of her descent as well as her swing to give the smash more strength into it. She wanted to send her opponent down onto the mat with the vicious smash that she was aiming to the head.

Isa was cursing herself. How could she had been such a fool to let Spring Tiger escape? Granted, the masked rookie was exceptionally quick in her actions, probably being intimidated by the tide turning against her and the strength of Isa's legs, but still, losing the control over her opponent was definitely a wasted chance for Isa.

Now the blonde had to get up and face a fresh opponent. And Isa had no idea about her style or technique. So what to do? Maybe try to perform a quick clothesline to take the azure-haired girl down in an instant... But after Isa had decided to do so, Yuki was suddenly climbing up the ropes. The blonde had time to stop herself, realising that her strategy was failing, before her new foe made her leaping entrance.

And it was a devastating success. Isa was not prepared at all for the flying forearm smash, and the attack sent her promptly slamming to the mat. And the worst thing was that her head seemed to take the most vicious part of it. Isa had no choice but to stay grounded, trying to recover for now. And that was likely bad news with a fresh opponent in the ring with her.

Upon hitting Isa's head with a flying forearm smash, Yuki Onna then landed on her feet before she swiveled around to look at her downed foe. Not wanting to lose her momentum upon entering the ring, Yuki would then run towards the ropes, going past the downed Isa before rebounding from the ropes, returning to where Isa was.

And when she got closer to Isa, Yuki would jump before trying to land a jumping elbow drop into the body of the blonde woman, hoping that the elbow drop could take a lot out of her, thus weakening her even further so that she could become Yuki's easy picking in this match.

If Isa had taken good advantage of the situation when entering the ring, Yuki was now doing exactly the same. The azure-haired girl had made quite an entrance to the ring, and just like Isa, she seemed to be having a clear plan in her mind on how to defeat her taller blonde opponent.

Isa was grounded in an instant, and in a fashion that eliminated the possibility to get immediately back up again. So she had time for a couple of thoughts. First, she had obviously no idea what to expect from Yuki in the ring. Second, she would have to get control of Yuki as soon as possible, of she'd soon be facing Aisha's fate.

By now Yuki was already rushing through the ring though, and the blonde rolled around in order to see what she was up to. But by the time she managed to do that, the azure-haired girl had already jumped up for the elbow drop. Yuki's elbow came crashing down on Isa's lower back, causing the blonde shriek out in pain. The Angel of Ice had no choice but to try rolling around again to protect her hurt back, and further away after that towards the ropes to gain some distance from her new foe.

Having successfully landed her elbow drop into Isa's back, Yuki would look at her opponent rolling around before trying to reach the ropes. But she would have none of that as she would pursue after her downed opponent. Considering that she was still on her feet, Yuki would have no problem chasing after the downed and rolling Isa before she bent down, trying to pull the blonde up back to her feet. Isa was a bit taller than her previous opponents, but Yuki would try to put her in a front headlock, making sure to wrap her arm around the blonde's head, tucking it under her armpit.

For those who had been following Yuki's matches, most of them already knew what Yuki had been planning when she put her opponent in a front headlock. Provided that she managed to keep Isa's head tucked in the front headlock, Yuki would lean forward slightly, speaking to Isa in apologetic manner like she always did to her previous opponents.

"Sorry."

And then, she would drop herself into a sitting position, propping up her knees all the way so that she could drive Isa's forehead right into her knee for a facebreaker DDT!

Damn. This Yuki sure seemed to know what she was doing. For a smaller girl, she was turning out to be a nightmare for Isa. Fast, agile, skillful high-flyer and striker. That was for sure now, provided that the blue-haired girl kept on fighting as she had started - like another version of Spring Tiger in the ring.

That meant Isa should first try to get herself out of harm's way, then revert back to the same plan she had had with the Tiger. Yuki had already caused a lot of pain for the blonde so catching a breath was paramount for Isa. That's why she was she was heading for the ropes.

That plan wasn't approved by Yuki though. Before reaching the ropes, Isa could feel her foe pulling her back up. "Ugh... OK, maybe it's easier to down her from there..." That thought made Isa not resist it that much, although it instantly backfired as her head was firmly put into the headlock. After a couple of attempts at yanking it free it was obvious that Yuki had a good hold on her. But it was OK, Isa could try to hook her leg behind Yuki's, and trip her off her feet! But then...

"Sorry? What was she sorry for?"

Nope, Isa hadn't seen any of Yuki's matches. And that second of confusion turned out to be costly for Isa. Suddenly Yuki was dropping, and Isa's forehead was smashed right into her knees! Immense pain ran through the blonde's head, and she flopped over to the side covering her face with her hands.
